Fuel Filters

The fuel filter is located in the engine compartment, on the right center of the lower dashboard. It should be replaced at 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months whichever comes first, or any time you
suspect contaminated gas may have clogged it.

Because the fuel system is under pressure, the filter should be

replaced only by a qualified Honda technician.ProCarManuals.comMain Menu s t
